ASTM/ASME 436 Stainless Steel Pipes & Tubes are molybdenum-enhanced ferritic (UNS S43600) products conforming to ASTM A268 standards, featuring a modified 430-grade composition with 16-18% chromium and 0.75-1.25% molybdenum for improved pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in chloride environments. This stabilized ferritic grade offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 430 stainless while maintaining excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking, making it particularly suitable for automotive exhaust systems, heat exchangers, and architectural applications exposed to moderately aggressive conditions. The alloy's molybdenum addition enhances durability in marine atmospheres and deicing salt environments, while its ferritic microstructure provides lower thermal expansion and better thermal conductivity than austenitic grades, offering a cost-effective solution for applications requiring enhanced corrosion performance without nickel content.
